I'm having some real difficulties trying to compile my AROS 64bit.
I'm not really sure why but it can't download the needed packages. The Internet is connected and active in my Ubuntu virtual machine. I'm using VMWare because VirtualBox isn't very good. I've compiled it successfully in the past year so the packages should already be in Portsources.
It couldn't find GCC then acpica-unix, etc, etc. Why can't it download the needed packages? I have to manually download then copy to Portsources There must be an easier way to do this.

3 hours agoHave you tried compiling the source code directly using AROS GCC?
If you’ve downloaded AROS One, you can simply compile it from a shell!
Yes. I have that link already.
deadwood provided it.
So is it better to use make or ./rebuild.sh to build AROS ?
My Ubuntu seems to have problems with fetching packages for some reason. I don't think the problem is compiler issues. More like Ubuntu.
Is there a master list of repositories or archive sites to fetch from? Maybe that needs to be updated on my end? I found this also...Update Repositories by updating sources list. Also NAT connection vs. Bridge connection in the VMWare Player.

Also if you are able to compile ABIv0 you have almost all of the needed packages (indeed GCC and acpi would be different).
Do you have curl installed on your Ubuntu? It's not installed by default. Also if you paste the errors you are getting this might help resolve the issue.
I don't believe I have curl installed. My ABIv0 is working properly. Can I copy the packages from Portsources from ABIv0 to ABIv11 ? Are they the same packages?
I'll post some screenshots as soon as I can. The errors I'm getting are pretty much the same. It says "fetching [package] then it tries several locations including Portsources then it stops compiling.
Maybe I can clear the packages cache to force it to download new ones?

What does curl do? Does it help resolve troublesome url's ? That would helpful.
I'll install curl and try again later today. I'll post some screenshots.
curl is a tool used by build system to download archives. If you don't have it installed, every download during building of AROS will fail.
